Yes sir I do not like waiting but after reading the reviews I thought I would stick this one out. Glad we did this was worth the wait. We walked from out hotel which was several blocks but I would do.it again. This place is very small so be ready to order when you arrive. This place is well ran... More

Well worth the 1 hour wait. This small restaurant is so good. Food was fantastic and could hardly move after it. Would thoughly recommend the Washington Omelette and the Kugelhopf. Delish ..... Staff were so good and coffee tops ups kept flowing. Standing in the queue outside watching the Tai Chi was good and sun was shining so very pleasant.... More

My husband and I turned up at Mama's around 10am and saw the long queue round the side of Mama's. We joined the queue and 1.5 hours later, we were shown to our seats. I ordered the Californian omelette, which had bacon, avocado and jack cheese and my husband ordered the Washington omelette - can't remember what's in it, think... More

We were warned if you get there after 8:30 am you will wait at least 1 hr. and we did. So delicious and worth it. Very nice staff, fun atmosphere and delicious food. I had the sampler french toast with fresh fruit. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

Some of my friends will not wait one or two hours for any food no matter how good, but I will wait for Mama's. I grew up loving this place. Great French toast and omelettes. If you can be there at opening (8 am), the wait isn't so bad. Be aware that it's closed on Mondays.
